Benchmarks

Last updated 28 January 2010.

We have graphed the performance of several implementations
of the R6RS on a set of
R6RS benchmarks
collected by Will Clinger.
These
R6RS benchmarks
include improved versions of most
Gambit benchmarks (collected by Marc Feeley)
and also include new benchmarks that test some
of the more important features that were introduced by the R6RS.

Explanation of Timings

The numbers shown are for a single run on a machine with no other users,
and give the elapsed time in seconds for a single run on
a machine with no other users.
The bar graphs show relative performance. Longer is better.

Where no timing is shown for a system, the system was unable
to run the benchmark correctly. We believe that
all missing timings
reflect a bug or implementation restriction in the system
that was unable to run the benchmark.
